Interdisciplinary Inquiry

Do your interests reach across different disciplines and academic departments? 这是 an opportunity to create your own interdisciplinary major.

If your academic interests extend beyond traditional academic disciplines, interdisciplinary studies can help you achieve your academic and professional goals. This program is designed to give the highly-motivated student, whose academic interests connect separate traditional disciplines, the opportunity to create an integrated, rigorous course of study based on a focus or inquiry area.

样本的课程

Beyond three required courses, coursework will depend on students’ particular interests. For example, a student focused on the science of climate change might undertake a B.S. with an approach housed primarily in the different scientific disciplines coupled with courses in disciplines like History (e.g., American Environmental History) and Sociology (Sustainability: Environmental, Social & 经济问题). 或者，一个学生 similarly interested in climate change but more so about it as a political issue might 选B.A. with courses in Political Science, as well as in Environmental Science (Contemporary Environmental Issues, Concepts in Environmental Science and Environmental Stewardship Seminar), Economics (Environmental Economics), and Communications courses. Focus area courses taken each year towards the major are determined by the student and the IINQ Program coordinator.
